Napalm Death - Utilitarian LP (color vinyl)

“Utilitarian” runs the gamut from straight-ahead violence and force to pure, undiluted NAPALM DEATH-induced chaos that overall provides a well-rounded bloodletting that's not for the weak and also confronts the listener with such surprising moments as the sax passages by none other than John Zorn or choral-like clean sections in ‘Fall On Their Swords’ or ‘Blank Look About Face’.
